    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. Thank you to the Majority Leader. I will borrow his notes after I finish submitting. I am willing. I am happy because the Majority Leader said he will support me. So, he will mobilise the numbers, because he is the owner of the baby. I will be the foster father of the process. Therefore, in the principle of equity, I agree with the Majority Leader. Now let every Kenyan feel that they are part of this country. While we say the Council should remain in Nairobi, let us get an office in Bungoma or any part of this country. I hope Sen. Crystal Asige will be there when the President will be signing this Bill into an Act. I request the Senate Majority Leader to ensure that he and Sen. Crystal Asige will be with the President. You should be happy Sen. Crystal Asige, the Majority Leader has confirmed that you will be there during signing of this Bill by the President. Kindly appeal for the resources so that we can have offices across the 47 counties, so that we can protect devolution in this country. Number four and the final point, you need to protect me, Temporary Speaker, is the introduction of Clause 66(a). I think it is on street begging. We need to agree. I agree with the National Assembly. I do not know where the truth is, but you find most of these people, when teargas is thrown in town, the people without legs suddenly have legs. Maybe Sen. Sifuna will guide me on this, because he knows the streets better than me. You know I am a villager. When a teargas is thrown in streets of Nairobi, the people without legs suddenly have legs and there were beggars at different corners. So, I do not know, I agree that the people living with disability should not be misused or abused or be used for street begging. It must be punishable by law. Anybody found must be punished by the law. Even if they are children. On Clause 73(a), with the affordable housing programme, let us give five percent to People with Disabilities. I want to appeal to the Government that in the affordable housing programme, out of the units that the Government will sell to Kenyans, let it ensure that in the advert, we put that five percent is reserved for People with Disabilities."
